However, on this day and night, there was a sudden thunder and heavy rain. It may have been a volcanic eruption that caused an unusual change in the climate, and the rain was unusually prolonged and violent.

The Horn River in front of the flower house began to rise. In the middle of the night, the sound of thunderstorms carrying the sound of the mountains coaxing down woke up Peony Yong and Ula Quack. They immediately realized that there would be a flood, and the two men quietly got up and went out of the house.

In this natural village, the location where the Hua family lives is closest to the riverbank. According to their observations, once the flash flood falls, the Hua family's house will be in danger. Sure enough, as soon as they came out of the house, they saw that the surging river had overflowed into the courtyard of the Hua family, and it was only one step away from the house.

Peony Yong waved his hand at Ula and asked him to deal with the flood in front of the house, while he went around to the wall of the house on the bank of the river, and set up a fairy barrier with the immortal method to force the river to detour. After doing this, they quietly went back to their rooms and went to sleep.

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, I heard the exclamation of the flower mother when she opened the door: "Ahh ”

The Hua family was woken up by the exclamation of the flower mother and ran out to watch.

I saw that the riverbed of the Horn River was gone, and there was a watery ocean everywhere. Fortunately, the front and back of the Hua family are still fine, and the Hua family walked out of the courtyard gate curiously, only to see that several families on the other side seemed to have entered the water, and there were many people standing on the west bank pointing at the Hua family.

Hua Yin exclaimed: "Their house is flooded, but our family is fine." Yes. Okay, good--" Well, she didn't know how to express it.

Ullah croaking comically continued: "Luck! Luck!"

The flower mother clasped her hands together and said, "Thank God for blessing, Amitabha!"

Peony Yong stood aside and couldn't hold back a smile, don't turn her face away.

After a pleasant breakfast, Ula said that he wanted to go out for a walk and see the excitement.

Peony Yong knew what he wanted to do, so he enveloped Hua Qi and Hua Drink, who also wanted to go out with Ula Quaqua, and tempted them to say that they would play backgammon with him, and whoever won the first place would be rewarded.

The trick worked, and Ulla went out alone. An hour later he came back and said that the flood had begun to recede and that the sky had begun to clear. He also said that there were many people from other villages who went to the eruption site --- Wang Bashan in groups to see the excitement. Because the heavy rain had completely extinguished the wildfires and washed the roasting lava, people could go inside the area and check it out. And said that the landform of that area has indeed undergone very peculiar changes, and it is worth seeing.

When Hua Qi and Hua Yin heard this, they all wanted to go and see it.

Peony Yong also had an idea in his heart. He was lucky, wondering if he could find some clues of the Earth and Quiet Country there?

So, after obtaining the consent of the mother of flowers, they took the sisters and brothers of the Hua family and ran to the volcanic eruption area with the villagers to watch the excitement.

At this time, the sky in this area is indeed free of smoke and haze for many days, revealing a blue color, and large white clouds bloom in the blue sky like flowers. This long-lost good atmosphere is indeed refreshing, making people have a passion for wanting to run and cheer.

They rushed to the site of the eruption, and the first thing they saw was black, full of dark colors, which was so shocking. The red magma from the eruption of the volcano had now turned into black, slimy rock, and stood like a hill in patches and waves on the ground, or in clusters and piles, and monsters that looked like bared teeth and grinned monsters, swarthy and hideous.

In this area as far as the eye can see, all the places where the lava passes have become their territory, and all the houses, trees, weeds, wild flowers, and even small animals that can't run away have been reduced to nothing. This scene makes people can't help but gasp when they look at it.

Hua Yin's slender eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her hand, almost stunned.

Here, she's been here. At that time, it was full of weeds, flowers, trees, and running rabbits, pheasants, and countless birds, all of which are now gone. Only this black rock is full of eyes, and it makes people feel like they have entered a demon realm.

What's even more terrifying is that this place is only more than ten miles away from the horn tun where they live, and if this volcano erupts a little bigger and longer, the consequences are really unimaginable. This kind of shocking feeling will be scary to anyone who sees it.

At this time, Peony Yong jumped onto a volcanic rock pile like a dragon's head, looked at this devastated place, and remembered the Tuyu Kingdom of the Earth Tree Prince.

Was the palace and the city, which were once so majestic, really completely destroyed by this volcano? In front of him, the little princess Wan'er waved her arms and jumped lively, and the lovely face of the prince of the earth tree. He really couldn't imagine how they could have disappeared forever like this.

Suddenly, he felt a faint voice in his ears, vaguely like a cry, much like a woman's voice. Where's the sound? On this black igneous rock?

Peony Yong's heart jumped wildly. He saw a taller rock pile in front of him, so he left the crowd behind and climbed to the commanding height.

He stood there and looked into the distance, and then he saw that in the middle of the black karst stone far away, there seemed to be a pool of blue water in the shadow, and he could not tell how much area there was, and he felt that the sound seemed to come from that place.

He jumped down, greeted Ula quack, asked him to take care of Huayin and Huaqi, and quickly ran to the place where there was lake. As we get closer, our voices become clearer:

"The slope of Pize has a pampa and a lotus. There is a beautiful person, what is the injury? ”

Peony Yong slowed down and listened attentively. But this woman chanted the six sentences of this chapter repeatedly, not to mention anything else.

Peony Yong heard it, this woman was reciting a poem from the "Book of Songs", called "Guofeng, Chen Feng, Zepi". This poem was originally three chapters and eighteen lines, and the woman repeated only six lines of the first chapter.

The whole meaning of the poem is to describe a woman touching the scene by the pond, missing her sweetheart, upset, and sad.

Listening to the woman's mournful and sad singing, coupled with the tenderness and affection of the poem itself, it can't help but make people feel sad and secretly cry.

Peony Yong went a little further and found this singer.

I saw a beautiful woman dressed in plain white, leaning on a black rock by the shore of the lake. Her figure is as ethereal as a dream, not like a mortal woman, not even a Tuyou clan.

Looking at the lake again, it is only 100 square meters in size, and between the cracks of the volcanic rocks on the opposite side, there is a spring that bubbles out of the water, pouring directly into this small lake.

Amazingly, there are some dwarf trees and weeds left by the small lake.

Wow! When Peony Yong saw this, he couldn't help but admire. What a living plant, it's amazing that this situation can still survive.

At this time, the woman in white also seemed to notice that someone was coming, only to see her slowly stand up and turn around slowly.

Peony Yong approached and said, "Disturb the fairy." Because I heard the sound of the fairy singing, I came to see it. ”

The woman in white returned the salute and said, "Whoever can hear my voice must not be mortal." Thank you for your care, thank you son. ”

Peony Yong said: "Oh, I see. Then dare to ask why the fairy is making a loud cry here?"

The woman in white wept and said, "The little woman originally lived here. The name is called rosemary is also. Just because of the volcanic eruption a few days ago, all my family members were destroyed. Pity my parents, my brothers, my sisters, my husband, they have all left me. I'm also seriously injured, and I'm just going to be able to survive here. ”

Peony Yong heard that he was the same kind, and he said it so miserably, he couldn't bear it in his heart. He said, "In that case, shall I take you out of here?" and he was eager to transplant her somewhere else.

Rosemary said, "Thank you for your kindness." I don't go anywhere else. My family is here, how can I leave? My parents, brothers and sisters, my husband. She whimpered.

Peony Yong saw that she was so sad, and she didn't know what to say for a while. After a few moments, he kindly proposed: "If this is the case, then you show your original body, and I will give you some cultivation, so that you can get better as soon as possible, okay?"

Seeing her hesitate, she said again: "You and I are the same kind, and it is appropriate to help in times of trouble." You would do the same, wouldn't you?"

Rosemary nodded when she heard this, thanked Peony Yong, and showed her original body. It turned out that she was a rosemary growing among the weeds by the small lake, and the pure white petals were mottled and hollowed, and the branches and leaves were broken and bent, and one place was almost broken.

Peony Yong and Aunt Zi Yin'er had learned the healing techniques of flowers and plants, and he was grateful to Grandpa Wang for not sealing his immortal method, otherwise, even if he encountered this situation today, even if he had the heart to help, there would be nothing he could do.

He cast a spell on Rosemary, telling her that she would be fine after a day and a night, and then he took his leave and returned.

He originally hoped in his heart that he would be able to meet the Prince of Tuyou, or Princess Wan'er, or anyone from the Tuyou Clan, but now although he was a little disappointed, after all, he saved another of his kind, and his heart was also comfortable. For him, this can be regarded as a small psychological compensation.

He walked back to meet Ula Quaqua, and then they went back together.

On the way back, they first met the group of children led by Ga Tou in Horn Tun. As the saying goes: When the enemy meets, the eyes are red. Two teams of people stood facing each other on the road, glaring angrily.

Hua Yin's little face was flushed, and the scar on his forehead was even redder; Xiao Huaqi stared at them fiercely, a pair of small hands clenched into small fists; he was not afraid of them when the people who supported him were here today.

Peony Yong and Ula looked funny, and stood behind the young lady, smiling silently.

As soon as the group of children saw that the ranks of the people had grown, and then looked at the demeanor of the two young men dressed in black and white, they all slipped over with a sense of the times. Only the moment Ga Tou staggered past them, he still scolded viciously: "Demon girl!"

Ula wanted to make a move when he heard the sound, but was stopped by Peony Yong. What do you care about the children's families?

As a result, they didn't go far, and they met the second group of enemies of Horntun head-on-Liu Yi, a scoundrel and a hooligan. I saw him walking over with a few men talking and laughing step by step, and when he saw the two children of the Hua family coming over from the opposite side, he pointed with his finger and said maliciously: "Hey, isn't that the little cub of our Tun Nasao mother's family?

Ula was holding his breath in his heart, and when he heard such a big person speaking ill of the same way, he cast a spell that made him fall on the ground and chew. Everyone burst into laughter when they saw it.

Liu Yi just got up in embarrassment, and fell again without taking two steps. This time, everyone stopped laughing, they all felt weird and incredible, and they all looked at the four children who were walking across from them.

Seeing this, Peony Yong quickened his pace and walked over with Ula Quack, Hua Drink, and Hua Qi.

Liu Yi's angry scolding voice came from behind: "Damn! demon girl——! she's a demon girl!"

Peony Yong patted Hua Yin's shoulder and said, "Hua Yin, don't care about their nonsense. You're a good girl. ”

Hua Yin lowered her head with tears in her eyes and said, "I'm used to being scolded by them." Then he touched the scar on his forehead with his hand.

Peony Yong glanced at Ula Quack, and felt very uncomfortable. secretly said in his heart: Although he saved her, she is a mortal, so he should not use the spells of the immortal family to treat her. Now, although she has some special abilities, the world can't tolerate her extraordinary talents, and the result is to harm her.

Ula quacked and said, "Huayin, don't you want to leave here? Wouldn't it be good to move to another place?"

"My father and mother said that our family has no money to move again. Here you can reclaim some wasteland, grow some rations, and live. If I change to other places, I'm afraid it won't work. Hua Yu said.

"Hmm. Peony Yong responded thoughtfully. Then he changed the subject and said, "Huayin, your name is very nice." ”

Hanayu smiled. She said: "My father said that these are two words from the poem 'Guess if you don't drink flowers'. Originally, my family name was Hua. ”

Peony Yong said: "Well, good name." He naturally knew that this was a sentence in the great poet Su Shi's "Cherish Flowers", which shows the pity of the flower father for his daughter.

He took advantage of the situation and said: "Hua Drink, in fact, the red scar on your forehead is a very auspicious triangular tweed. Anyone who can have such a mark will be rich and prosperous in the future. Besides, you look beautiful and beautiful, don't you, Blossom?"

Hua Qi jumped to her feet and said livelyly: "Yes! I just see my sister is good-looking! But I'm tired of walking, brother!"

What the little guy said, it turned so fast that everyone felt caught off guard, and made all three of them laugh.

Ula croaked and said, "I see that you are running very happily, are you tired of shouting? Then come here, Brother Ula is carrying you." ”

Xiaohuaqi ran over lively, climbed onto Ulla's back, and the four of them continued to walk home with a smile.

Three days passed quickly. As they predicted, the male owner of the Hua family was already able to walk around the ground. It's just that my body is too thin and my physical strength is not enough, and I can't exercise more. According to Ula Guagu's promise: If you raise it for half a month, you will definitely recover completely.

In the past few days, the Hua family has fully accepted this miraculous medical effect. Because the Hua family has little contact with the people in this horn tun, this joy is only filled, fermented and tasted in the small courtyard and thatched hut of the Hua family. Everyone was very happy and happy, which made Peony Yong and Ula Quaqua have a feeling of going home, such a mortal life, they felt very good and liked it very much.

But they like to like, and they have not forgotten their mission. After all, Kao's magic weapon still has two pieces to be found, and time is passing quickly, and the deadline is already halfway over, and it is time for them to leave.

Early this morning, as usual, they went to the river to help the Hua family fill the drinking water in the tank, cleaned the yard, and had breakfast around the table with the Hua family, including the man and the hostess. While Aunt Hua was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, they and the male owner of the Hua family proposed their resignation.

Father Hua said very sincerely: "Two sons, can't you stay here for a few more days? Thanks to your life-saving grace, I have not repaid one or two, and I am really very uneasy to leave like this." ”

Peony Yong said: "Uncle Hua said that it would be too polite, we were also taken in by you when we were in trouble." These days, the troublesome aunt who eats and lives well, and plays with her younger brothers and sisters, we should thank you very much. And," he said, taking out a large cloth bag and placing it on the table, he continued, "Here are some coins, please take them." It's the cost of room and board for a few days. ”

When Father Hua heard this, he immediately stood up, pushed the cloth bag with both hands, and said, "This can't be done, how can this be done!"

Hua Mu also heard the content of this conversation, and at this time, while wiping her hands with her apron, she came over and said, "Ayong, Ula, this is really unacceptable. I treat you like my own children. Not to mention that you saved your uncle's life, just staying at my house for a few days and eating a few meals, and asking you to pay for it, isn't that - too much of a shame? ”

Peony Yong pressed Father Hua's hand and said, "Uncle and aunt, you listen to me." One is that my family is very rich, and this money is nothing to me at all. To put it mildly, I didn't even have enough money to buy a piece of jade. So, don't take it seriously. Second, I think that the environment in which you live here is very bad, and many people are very hostile to Sister Huayin, calling her a demon girl, and I am afraid that there will be many people looking for trouble in the future. In my opinion, you should live in a different place. It's better to go to the city, do a small business or something, and ask a gentleman to teach Hua Yin and Hua Qi to read, they are very smart, this Uncle Hua knows better than me, right? Therefore, the money is reserved for the two younger brothers and sisters. Is that okay?"

As soon as the Hua couple heard this, they both left the table and knelt on the ground, and tears fell from their eyes.

Peony Yong and Ula hurriedly went over to help them up, and said in a panic: "How to make this, how to make this." ”

The flower mother choked up and said, "What kind of virtue have we accumulated? Let God send you to help the suffering." ”

Ula took the opportunity to stretch out his hand and said, "Then the relief is over, Uncle Hua will return my ancestral medicine bag to me." ”

Father Hua took out the embroidery bag from the chest of his underwear, handed it to Ula Quack with both hands, and thanked him again and again.

Hua Yin and Hua Qi have been standing by the door of the inner room, watching this scene timidly. Hua Qi came over at this time and took Peony Yong's arm and said, "Brother Ayong, don't you go, okay?"

Peony Yong squatted down, touched his little face and said, "Hua Qi is good, my brother still has something to do." You practice your fists and kicks well, and when you practice well, my brother will come to see you boxing, okay?"

"Good. Hua Qi readily agreed, still pulling her sleeves, reluctantly.

Hua Yin still stood there and watched silently, the girl's shyness prevented her from expressing her reluctance like her younger brother. But when she heard what she said just now, she also fully understood the meaning of Peony Yong's words, she felt a little pain in her heart, her eyes were a little moist, and she didn't dare to come forward to speak.

It wasn't until her mother pulled her brother that she and her father and mother sent Peony Yong and Ula out of the courtyard gate, and stood there watching them leave, until the weeds and low trees on the banks of the Horn River covered their figures.

Peony Yong and Ula Quaqua had just walked to the edge of the small stone bridge when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Brother Ayong, Brother Ulla, wait a minute——!"

When they turned around, they saw Hua Yin's thin figure running along the path by the river.

Did something happen to the Hua family as soon as they left? They went back to welcome the flowers.

Hana ran over panting, her little face flushed.

Peony Yong hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Hua Drink's slender and beautiful eyes smiled and bent into a crescent shape, and she stretched out a clenched hand and said, "Give this!"

Ula croaked and grabbed it and said, "Spirit Stone!"

Peony Yong smiled and asked Hua Drink, "How can you have this?"

"My brother and I picked it up at the cemetery. It's a gem, right?" Hua Yin said proudly: "Brother, you are so good to us, I have nothing to repay you, so I will give you this treasure as a souvenir." ”

Ula quacked excitedly stepped forward to pick up the little girl and spun around.

For a while, the sound of cheerful laughter accompanied by the sound of the rushing water of the Horn River spread out in circles along the Horn River.

They waved goodbye again, reluctantly.

"Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao. ”

Peony Yong looked at the flower drink that ran in the direction of home, and said, "Although the little girl is young, she understands this big truth. When this little girl grows up, she must be a good woman who is both virtuous and intelligent. ”

Ula croaked and said, "Not only is she virtuous and intelligent, but she is probably also a great beauty." As the saying goes: Look at his mother, know his daughter. ”

Peony Yong glanced at him, stepped away and walked away.
